ASTM A514 Grade E is a high-strength, quenched and tempered alloy steel with the following properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength (min) | 100 ksi (690 MPa) up to 2.5 inches thickness |
| Yield Strength (min) | 90 ksi (620 MPa) for 2.5-6 inches thickness |
| Tensile Strength | 110-130 ksi (760-895 MPa) |
| Elongation in 2″ (min) | 16% |
| Hardness | 235-293 HBW (for plates up to 0.75 inches) |
ASTM A514 Grade E steel is commonly used in:
ASTM A514 Grade E is produced through quenching and tempering processes. Available dimensions include:
| Thickness (in/mm) | Width (in/mm) | Length (in/mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 0.185 – 6.00 | 60 – 131.9 | 73 – 590 |
| 4.70 – 152 | 1500 – 3350 | 1900 – 15000 |
ASTM A514 Grade E has excellent weldability but requires careful attention to welding procedures. Proper preheat and interpass temperatures should be maintained to prevent cracking. Filler metals should be selected to match the strength of the base metal.
| Grade | Yield Strength (min) | Tensile Strength |
|---|---|---|
| A514 Grade E | 100 ksi (690 MPa) | 110-130 ksi (760-895 MPa) |
| A36 | 36 ksi (250 MPa) | 58-80 ksi (400-550 MPa) |
| A572 Grade 50 | 50 ksi (345 MPa) | 65 ksi (450 MPa) min |
While ASTM A514 Grade E has a higher initial cost, its high strength allows for thinner sections and reduced overall weight in structures. This can lead to cost savings in material usage, transportation, and installation, particularly in large-scale projects.
